Shadow Pounce

Tooltip

Darkfang pounces on a player, inflicting 6 Physical damage and additional 5 Physical damage every 1 sec for 5 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 11.

Shadow Pounce is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 6.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (25 base in total).

What it does

Shadow Pounce is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 6) and applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 1 sec. The client files the whole spell under the bleeding mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
